Houston claimed Hall off waivers after he failed his physical as part of a trade between the Las Vegas Raiders and Minnesota Vikings. Since arriving in Houston, Hall has done his part to get in shape to contribute to the Texans.

“He’s lost weight,” O’Brien said. “He’s shown up every day. He’s worked hard in the weight room. He’s trying to work hard on his diet. I thought he played well the last couple days, and I thought he played pretty well tonight from what I could see from the field level there. We’ll continue to work with him and we’ll see where it goes.”

The club already released defensive tackle Albert Huggins. Hall brings the veteran experience O’Brien is placing a premium on in this pandemic-affected season.
